歌词
The night sets softly with the hush of falling leaves
随着寂静的落叶,夜晚温柔的降落
Casting shivering shadows on the houses through the trees
颤抖的影子穿过树木,爬上房子
And the light from a street lamp paints a pattern on my wall
街灯的光亮在我的墙上画下了一个图案
Like the pieces of a puzzle or a child's uneven scrawl
像是一些谜一样的难题,或是一个孩子潦草的乱话
Up a narrow flight of stairs in a narrow little room
在一段狭窄楼梯上的一间狭窄的小房子里
As I lie upon my bed in the early evening gloom
昏暗的傍晚,当我躺在床上时
Impaled on my wall, my eyes can dimly see
我的双眼可隐隐看到,那仿佛是钉在墙上的
The pattern of my life and the puzzle that is me
我命中的图案,那谜一般的难题,就是我!
From the moment of my birth to the instant of my death
从我出生的时辰到我死亡的那刻
There are patterns I must follow
这图案我必须跟随
Just as I must breathe each breath
正如我必须要呼吸一般
Like a rat in a maze, the path before me lies
像一直陷入迷宫中的老鼠,我前面的路线在说谎
And the pattern never alters until the rat dies
这图案从不改变,直到这只老鼠死去
And the pattern still remains on the wall where darkness fell
这图样会一直留在的墙上,在黑暗落下的地方
And it's fitting that it should for in darkness I must dwell
那与我存在于黑暗中是相适宜的
Like the color of my skin or the day that I grow old
就像我皮肤的颜色,或像我成长的日子
My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled
我的生命是由这些图样组成,几乎不受控制
